Building community networks and engagement for effective TB case management.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Effective TB case management requires comprehensive strategies that extend beyond clinical treatment and involve community engagement and networks. This narrative review explores the role of community networks and engagement in enhancing TB case management, focusing on how communities contribute to improved detection, treatment adherence, and long-term management. Drawing on a wide range of studies, the review highlights the importance of participatory approaches, the use of community health workers (CHWs), and multi-sectoral collaboration in TB care. It emphasizes the role of culturally tailored interventions and the need for greater investment in building sustainable community networks. The discussion also explores the challenges and barriers to effective community engagement, such as stigma, lack of resources, and structural inequalities. The review concludes by proposing recommendations for future strategies to strengthen community networks and engagement, ensuring more comprehensive and effective TB case management.
